The German is set to oversee an overhaul of the Reds squad when the transfer window reopens and Morata could replace Christian Benteke with the Belgian expected to be moved on.

However, the report adds that a deal is only likely to happen if Liverpool secure Champions League football next season.

Sunday's defeat to Southampton has left them seven points off the Premier League's top four and their best hope of qualifying for the Champions League is winning the Europa League. They face Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals.
